First Lewiston School with H. B. Fuller as superintendent was housed in a two-story building on Montmorency St facing directly down Kneeland St to the lake. The school was a source of pride for the townsfolk. However, it was destroyed by a fire only a couple years after its completion. A second building was completed about 1896 and occupied the same site as the first. In this two-story building the youngsters were on the first floor and the 7th - 10th grade were on the second floor. A graduating class was June 25, 1903. Four girls graduated that year.
